People to decide who will be where after Oct 25: Obaidul

Communications Minister Obaidul Quader on Friday said country’s people will decide who will be where after October 25. “There’s no use of any unnecessary threat. People will determine who will be where after October 25,” he while talking to reporters after inaugurating the 10-lane Nabinagar Intersection on Dhaka-Aricha highway at Nabinagar. He made the comments apparently in reaction to BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir’s remarks that Awami League will be found nowhere after October 24. Obaidul also said the showdown which the opposition is talking about is actually their election showdown. “None of the leaders and activists (of opposition) is in a mood for movement; they are in election mood.” The Roads and Highways Department constructed the country’s biggest and first-ever 10-lane intersection at Nabinagar at a cost of Tk 5 crore. The intersection will play an important role in easing traffic jam in the area, hoped the minister. – UNB
